Nassau, Bahamas - The
Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture and its staff wish to express our sincere
condolences over the sudden and unexpected passing of Bahamian sports star Mr.
Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson in Florida recently.
Kevin
“Kimbo Slice” Ferguson rose to fame through his widely viewed videos of his
backyard brawls and then his transition into the professional arena of Mixed
Martial Arts.
We
are deeply saddened by his sudden passing as he had only just begun to impact
the Bahamian populous through his large international following and involvement
in mixed martial arts on the world scene.
He will always be remembered as the self-made icon who propelled himself
into stardom.
He
will always be remembered as a tough individual who refused to allow his humble
beginnings to keep him from achieving success, but rather someone that
recognized their talent and used it to propel himself to success.
Again
we extend our condolences on the loss of our Bahamian Brother.
